Reborn in the 80s: The Smart Wife with a Secret Space Chapter 1248: Don’t Brag Anymore

Hao Xuejun recognized the gravity of the situation, calling out, "Dad."

Still incensed, Hao Yuanfang didn't spare Hao Xuejun either. "Don't you know what kind of person your mother is? Why didn't you try to dissuade her? Now look, what are we going to do?"

He paced the ward restlessly. "I made several trips just to get someone to agree to help you with acupuncture once they finished their other duties, but it seems there's no hope now."

Looking at his wife, he raised a hand, then let it fall, clenching his teeth. "You always make things worse instead of better. Did you enjoy yourself, knowing you put your son in danger? Are you happy now?"

Ding Xiulian, in a panic, stammered, "The person who picked her up just mentioned she's heading to a ward nearby. Why don't we go over and talk to her properly?"

Hao Yuanfang glared at her, enunciating each word. "I warned you last time. What did you say then? Why do you never learn from your mistakes? Your son is so unfortunate to have a mother like you."

Meanwhile, Xinyan had already met Grandpa Jiao.

Quite a few people were present in the ward, all of the Jiao family's children were there. "Grandpa Jiao, how are you feeling?"

Mr. Jiao smiled and waved at her. "It's nothing serious, but it did cause you to come to the hospital."

Xinyan assisted with an examination. "It's truly nothing major, but as one ages, osteoporosis can occur. You'll need to supplement with calcium regularly."

Mr. Jiao nodded. "The doctor just said the same thing."

At this moment, the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jiao family, Jiang Cuixu, approached. "I thought since we're already here at the hospital, we might as well give him a thorough check-up."

Xinyan agreed. "Auntie is correct, regular check-ups are important as you get older."

Jiang Cuiyu turned to Xinyan. "Do you require me to prepare anything for the acupuncture?"

Mr. Jiao chimed in, "Yes, yes, hurry and prepare. Xinyan is always very busy, let's not keep her any longer. Once she's finished with the acupuncture, she can get back to her own important matters."

Xinyan quite appreciated the straightforward nature of the Jiao family. "Grandpa Jiao, today, I'll be performing acupuncture on your back and head. You just need to lie down."

The patient in the adjacent bed, witnessing the impending acupuncture, ceased their conversation and looked over.

Once Mr. Jiao was positioned correctly, Xinyan opened the silver needle kit she always kept with her. They were all sterilized, so she could commence the acupuncture immediately.

Xinyan was exceptionally swift with the needles, and before long, quite a few needles adorned his back.

She then shifted her attention to the head area.

Just as she was about to begin, the elderly woman in the neighboring bed remarked, "Oh my, even on the head? This young lady appears quite youthful; you children today are truly daring. The head is not like other areas; a misplaced needle could result in significant issues."

Xinyan was not offended by the comment and calmly responded, "Ma'am, please do not worry. I am confident my acupuncture will be precise."

Upon hearing this, the elderly woman covered her mouth and watched Xinyan's procedure with rapt attention.

When Xinyan finished, the elderly woman let out a prolonged sigh. "Is it already done?"

Just as she was about to speak further, a family member by her bedside gently pulled her back. "Mom, you should cease your worrying; this young lady's acupuncture skills are evidently advanced."

Grandpa Jiao, who had been wanting to speak, gave a thumbs-up to the person who had spoken. "You've got it exactly right. Her acupuncture skills are truly masterful; don't be deceived by her age. All her mentors were highly renowned figures."

The eldest son of the Jiao family, Jiao Ruixiang, approached. "Alright, don't boast excessively; Xinyan is still occupied."

The implication behind his words was clear – continued bragging would only create more difficulty for Xinyan. Hadn't he noticed the elderly woman staring intently at Xinyan, filled with eager anticipation?

The moment he finished speaking, an even more excited voice emanated from the doorway. "Young lady..."

Everyone in the room turned to look.

Xinyan had not anticipated encountering Mr. Ye, whom she had previously assisted on the train, here. "Mr. Ye, why are you at the hospital? Are you feeling unwell?"

Beside him, Xiao Liu escorted Mr. Ye into the room. "Nothing major. He came in a few days ago for a check-up, and today he's here to receive the results."

Xiao Liu, sounding somewhat eager, added, "Comrade, could we speak for a moment?"
